1. How do you deal with stress?
I indulge in spending too much money. Bizarrely, if I'm having money stress, I do the same. Or I indulge in time-consuming projects which will distract me from the stress.

2. Do you have a favorite "comfort food" and what is it?
Chocolate, or Frappuccinos.

3. Do you have a "comfort activity" and what is it?
I immerse myself in work, or TV shows.

4. What days depress you and why?
Sunday nights depress me, which I think is ingrained in me from when I was little, and it meant SCHOOL TOMORROW. It's silly, because as I waxed in last week's Friday Five, I adore my job so Mondays aren't such a big deal anymore! Or comedown days, after a holiday or an event.

5. What days excite you and why?
I still get excited around Christmas and birthdays, even though at my age the novelty should have worn off!

If we're just talking about regular days of the week, then Mondays excite me, they're good days at work. And if I've got a relaxing day of doing nothing ahead, then Sundays too :)

Heh.
Well, if I'm stressed out, it's usually about classes and school and shit. Usually, I'll leave the class atmosphere, and take a break from studying. Maybe go to Starbuck's or watch a movie, go out with friends.. just something to get me away from homework and exams.

Anything warm, and chocolate
3. Do you have a "comfort activity" and what is it?
Curling up on my bed with like 4 pillows, my snuggly blanket and watching a movie
4. What days depress you and why?
Mondays and Wednesdays. Monday - start of the school week, and Wednesday - longest day b/c of classes
5. What days excite you and why?
Thursday Nights - Saturday :D

1. How do you deal with stress?
I try to breathe and forget about all the things that have been worrying me at that particular moment. Actually, I'm feeling a bit stressed out right now.:P

2. Do you have a favorite "comfort food" and what is it?
Hmm..I think it's just my dad's cooking - anything goes because he's such a great cook. I think ice cream's my comfort food as well, but I never eat it by the carton, just a cone to cheer me up.

3. Do you have a "comfort activity" and what is it?
Watching DVD's that I own. Having a mini Friends marathon when I'm down/stressed out works so well. I start to laugh and the problems become smaller. It's good therapy, it really is.

4. What days depress you and why?
Rainy days or days that have horrible weather. Basically if the sun's not out, which has been happening a lot lately. The weather affects my mood. Oh, and if I have a bad start to a day.

5. What days excite you and why?
Holidays or just random days where I get school off or if I get to sleep in a little bit, even until 8 or 9 because I have to get up at the latest, 7 every single day, counting weekends.;/

1. How do you deal with stress?
Badly - LOL. Truthfully, when I get too stressed, it tends to come out physically. I get agitated, snap at people. Then I get insomnia and manic energy. After awhile, I start to have stomach problems. If I get really stressed, I can't keep solid food down and it takes several days for me to get my body back to normal once whatever stressful has ended.

2. Do you have a favorite "comfort food" and what is it?
No, actually, I try not to take comfort in food. I have a problem with eating when I get stressed or in an unfamiliar situation. I'm trying to break that habit by not associating food with comfort or safety.

3. Do you have a "comfort activity" and what is it?
When I get really stressed, I tend to clean because it's fairly mindless. I used to love to just pack up and go for a drive, but that's hard to do anymore.

4. What days depress you and why?
Fridays tend to depress me, especially if I'm broke that week because now I've got two days of sitting around with no money and two kids who need to be kept occupied, in a town where there aren't exactly a whole lot of free or cheap activities.

5. What days excite you and why?
The day before I travel somewhere. There's always so much to do and all the anticipation of the trip, plus my own wierd fears that something will fall through at the last minute.

3. Do you have a "comfort activity" and what is it?

1. it's hard, because I get stressed out so easily. I just try to tell myself that things could be a lot worse. sometimes I imagine the worst thing that could happen, and then compare the two. sometimes it helps to put things into perspective.

2. probably hot tea or some chocolate

3. I listen to music, curl up in bed & sleep, or go to the beach

4. any day where I feel lonely/unwanted/ugly/forgotten about/etc.

5. waking up in the morning knowing that you have a 'big' event happening. like traveling, or going to a concert. I love waking up anticipating the day.
